Did you buy any of that online ammo? If no, you did not get gouged. If yes, you thought it was worth the exchange of money for product. Are there folks trying to make as much as they can as fast as they can? Yep; and if I was in this business, not knowing whether I was going to be able to remain in business, I'd be grabbing every nickel I could so I could start up something else when the axe falls - and it IS going to fall, just a question of when.I can't cast a vote as the choices given are two narrow. I see online ammo priceing where the prices are a definite gouge. At my local stores the prices have gone up a little and I consider that to be passing along their price increase from their distributor that is in turn passing along an increase from the maker that's just passing along his increased materials cost. Don't forget the inflation of our money caused by the profligate spending of our federal government adding to the increased prices we are seeing.
SO? That proved nothing. Do you know each one's costs and expenses? Your small guy figured out what he needed to sell at to make his margin - as did the other store. My small town guy has 3 boxes of 38 short Colt he special orders for a guy; otherwise he has nothing ammo-wise to sell.Its an odd situation. I have a very small store near me. Last time i bought 9mm from him it was a 100rd count of Blazer for $39. The store I goto to shoot which is considerably larger they wanted $35 for a box of 50. Both stores are in the same county and about 25 minutes apart

Really? You don't think P&G sells to Walmart cheaper than they do your local grocery store?For a company to sell goods or services to one entity (a store) at a higher price than another store in the same marketplace, is illegal and a violation of Robinson-Patman. If this happened the higher priced guy, with a good lawyer, could make a lot of money for him. This shows that both stores were making money, one a lot more money than the other.
